Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart has hailed their defensive line this season.
The City and England no.1 puts this down to good relationships in what he describes as the strongest team he has played in.
“I've not had an overly busy season. - it's mainly been about communication and having a good relationship with the back four," he revealed to City's website.
“I think defensively we've been fantastic, a lot of people have played in our defence – probably only Gael has missed out because of injury.
“Everyone else has played their part and Gael will come in to play his part. We're in a good place. We know what we're doing and we work well together - long may it continue.
“Everyone knows our capabilities. We've proven it many times but three points are most important in order to stay top of the league. We have to try and build as big a gap between us and others as possible."
